My eyes swung over to look at my mother standing there with my aunt Maria and Aunt Agnes.

“Shit,” I whispered.

“Oh God. This is not happening. This is it!” Gabi exclaimed as she covered her mouth.

I placed my hands on her shoulders and leaned in closer. In a whispered voice, I asked, “What is wrong?”

Her eyes met mine. “This is her challenge! I thought it was that day in the bakery. That was a merely a test! She’s here to take me down!”

I laughed. “My mother is not here to take you down.”

She slowly shook her head and asked, “How did she know?”

Then we both turned to look at Liza. She took a step away. “You didn’t.”

Liza’s eyes were everywhere. Me, my mother, back to Gabi, back to my mother. “I might have mentioned it that day in the bakery when she was there. But she saw the registration form and asked if you had entered! I didn’t know I wasn’t supposed to say.”

With a full-on smile, Gabi nodded. “Thanks! You too. And may the best cook win.”

Tossing her head back and laughing before looking back at Gabi, my mother said, “Oh, I will.”

This book kept me entertained the whole way through! Nic is a SWAT member and 100% Greek. Imagine My Big Fat Greek Wedding but if Toula was a man. And that gives you an idea of Nic’s family. Even down to the point where his mom is constantly comparing other nationalities as “Greek without <something>” like Toula’s dad does. I don’t know if Greek families are truly like that but they are in this book. And I love them!

Gabi is a baker, has her own bakery, when Nic and some of his coworkers come in to her business. Nic can barely keep his cool and Gabi can’t either. Gabi is 100% (ish) Italian so Nic knows his mom won’t approve but he can’t seem to care because Gabi is it. Even though Nic knows Gabi has a secret. Gabi loves Nic but truly can’t tell him her deepest, darkest secret.

I loved this story and Nic and I hope there’s more of the Drivas family!

5 stars!
